We publish in another column a report of a meeting near Manchester of a large number of our fellow-subjects, whose political designation we are left to guess at. We have heard of Radicals ; we have heard of Destructives ; but the spokesmen at this meeting would seem to belong to an order far superior to both, though (to use their own lan guage) of the same kidney. They are " Destructives and something more," and should perhaps be called, for want of a genteeler name, " Kilrem and eat'em" politicians, whom it would be equally foolish to be angry with or to reason with. The meeting, however, cannot fail to be produc tive of much good. In the first place, it has given vent to ill humours which pent up might be dangerous ; and when the mothers and the children of the would be orators, who, to their astonishment and disgust , were only hearers, find that the loss of a day's wages, and the consequent falling off in the Sunday's dinner, are added to the care and anxiety of husbands' and fathers' presence in a mob who may break the peace or keep it, as the number of drinking booths happens to be great or small, we doubt whether the assemblage of so large a number of well mean ing but misled men will often be gathered together again to build castles in the air. Let these worthy artisans bear in mind, while they plume themselves so much upon what their labour produces, that if it were not for the capitalist they must starve though they were as strong as giants : let them consider that every fine dress, every gaudy equipage, every towering mansion they be hold, calls into use and into pay labour which would be un employed, if lords and ladies and the gentry were to be housed, attended, and arrayed after a more homely fa shion. They directly or indirectly profit by all ; and they may rest assured, that if the condition of all men were equalized to-morrow, there would be much more startling comparative disparities in the amount of men's possessions this day twelve months than there are at present. We are led to these observations by a perusal of the address of the Northern Union, which was issued on this occasion, and which we may at another opportunity notice more in detail. For the political part of the Manchester display of we know not how many thousands—we must, with great re spect for the multitude, and with greater pity for its leaders, decline to discuss it. That is not an affair to talk about, as we hope the audience at the meeting will on reflection see, and as we know they will find, if their own good sense should not enable them to discern how unwise and how wicked it would be for them to make the experiment to which their leaders have invited them.—Times. Our paper of yesterday contained a lengthened report of the speech of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, delivered at the Borough of Southwark Dinner on the previous even ing. It is gratifying to find that, notwithstanding Mr. Harvey's acceptance of office under Government, he is still the same man he ever was. So far from having, even by implication, made any sacrifice of his principles in accepting a Government appointment, it appears that he distinctly apprised Lord John Russell, in whom this appointment was vested, that be would only accept it on the express condi tion that he was to remain as free arid unfettered in the —.— House of Commons, both in his speeches and votes, as he had been heretofore. And Mr. Harvey proved in his ad dress on Monday ovening, that this w,s no idle or un meaning stipulation ; for immediately after stating that he bad made it, he proved that he was in earnest, by freely animadverting on some of the measures of the Ministry, and unreservedly denouncing others. The country will participate in our gratification at the circumstance of Mr. narvey remaining an independent man. The country can ill afford at such a moment as the present to lose the services of a man of such splendid tal-nts and undaunted boldness as the Hon. Member for Southwark. We prize such men as he the more highly, because talent and patriotism are qualities which are now-a-days of very rare combination in our public men.—Morning Advertiser. The meeting of the workrig classes at Kersal-moor, near Manche-ter, on Monday last, was numerously at tended, though the estimate that 300,000 persons, even including women and children, were present, must be ex travagAntly high. Experience of the looseness with which numbers are given on such occasions, by persons who have no rules to guide them, would render us very sceptical with respect to the estimate in this case, even if we did not know from the population returns of that part of the country that 300,000 persons could not possibly have been collected. By and by we shall learn, from those who.:e business it was to watch the proceedings of the me!!ting, what the numbers really were. In the mean time one fact is undisputed, that the meeting passed off very quietly. There was not the least disturbance or attempted breach of the peace, and the behaviour of the people assembled 11 as in every respect most ordA.ly. The speeches deli vered at this meeting call for no particular notice. The Rev. Mr. Stephens had fewer allusions to arms than usual, and though in his description cf the advantages to he de• rived from Universal Suffrage he did not come up to Jack Cade, it must be owned that it was well calculated to make an impression on his audience : " The question before them that day," said the Reverend Gentleman, " with respect to the People's Charter, was a mere knife-and-folk question—could he resolved into a mere bread and-cheese question.—( Hear and cheers ) If he was asked what was meant by Universal Suffrage, be would say that the working man should have a good coat to his back, a good hat to his head, and a good roof to his house.—( Cheers.) The labouring man should have such a rate of wages as would enable him t.) procure all the necessary eujoyments—all the blessings of life which a reas.mmble man could wish for.—._ ( Loud cheering.) Universal Suffrage should be passed before those things could come to pass." All, we suppose, are to h ive good hats, good coats, good houses, and the necessary blessings and enjoyments of life. In the political millennium announced by the Rev, Orator there are to be no pickpockets, for we are curst with thieves and pickpockets because we are without Uni versal Suffrage. The idle and the lazy will be better off under Universal Suffrage than the diligent now are. Bad seasons and failures of crops will be merely matters of history, to be referred to on the anniversaries of the date of the Charter of Universal Suffrage, in order to enhance the enjoyment of the people by the contrast with their past sufferings.—Morning Chronicle. At Lambeth-street Office, on Monday, a lad was held to bail for having got upon the back of a horse that had been turned out on Sunday to graze in Eel-pie-fields, and ridden the animal so furiously as completely to exhaust it. The proprie tor of the hone had suffered severely from similar acts on for mer occasions. At a special meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, held on Monday at Fulham, to revise the Jury Lists, Mr. Corder, clerk to the Strand Union, applied to have his desig nation in the Jury List for the parish of Chelsea altered. He said he was described in the list as a gentleman, when he ought to have been designated an esquire. He was a member,of Lincoln's Inn, and a special pleader, and he, there fore, claimed that designation. When he resided in West minster and Hampstead he had, on appeal, had the amend ment made, and he showed by the Law List that he was there termed an esquire, the same as a Counsel. Mr. Towne, a Magistrate, said the Act of Parliament only allowed the term of esquire to barristers actually practising. Mr. Frere, another Magistrate, recollected a case in the Court of Com mon Pleas, of a special pleader of the name of Perry, who when making an affidavit in which he was termed a gentle man, the Judges refused to receive it until the designation was altered to esquire. The Bench allowed the appeal. A person who gave his name Ackerby, and de scribed himself as being in the commission of the peace, and living in Davies-street, Berkeley-square, appeared on Monday before the police committee to complain against a constailo for ordering him to " move on," while engaged in holding forth in Smithfield-market on Sunday week. The policeman said he had interfered on the occasion, because the gentle man bad along with the Bible, which was used m ere ly as a blind, a Bishop's cap, tablets, some indescribable instruments, and water, which he called holy water. He had a weather glass and his pot of water by him, and he said, " This is the holy water, m y lads ! Come a l o n g , ti pp l e it , and hand it round." The strange and incoherent answers given by com plainant led the Magist r ates to think he was insane, and they dismissed the case. About four months ago, a boy of four years of age, son of a joiner named. Wilson, residing in the Nethergate, Dundee, disappeared in a ratherofmtyhsetedrrioosuss h m e a w n o n r e e r. at His the disappearance, and a description time, were published in several of the newspapers, w f ith th a e v lo ie s w t to assist the disconsolate parents in the discovery o child.

COVENTRY and SHADWELL held their sittings this morning, at White Conduit House, for the revision of the lists of voters for the county, having qualifications in the several parishes of St. Luke, Old-street ; St. Botolph Without, Al dersgate ; St. James, Clerkenwell ; St. Mary, Islington ; St. Mary, Stoke Newington ; St. John, Hackney ; and St. Leonard, Shoreditcb. (Before Mr. COVENTRY. ) A Mr. Chafey claimed to have his name placed on the re gistry in virtue of a freehold office, namely, that of First Ju nior Fellow of Dulwich College ; but his right was objected to by Mr. Davis, the Liberal agent. A solicitor, who appeared to support the claim, stated that the property of the College was vested in the Fellows by Charter, and that they had each a freehold interest in it of 10/. a-year. This, he contended, entitled his client to the franchise, and the more particularly as Mr. Chafey could not be removed from his office or appointment. Mr. COVENTRY asked whether marriage would not disqualify Mr. Chafey from holding the appointment. The Soliciter replied in the affirmative. Mr. COVENTRY said that, as the appointment bad a condi tion annexed to it, and as the rents and profits of the property were received by the College as a Corporation, he could not treat it as such a freehold as would justify him in allowing the claim. Name struck out. (B.Jore Mr. SHADNYELL. ) MR. CC2POCK'S CASE. It will be recollected by our readers that Mr. Coppock, the Secretary to the Reform Club, claimed in right of a freehold house and garden on Sunbury Common, and that his claim was rejected at Bedfont on the statement of Mr. Turner, who said that Mr. Coppock had himself admitted on oath that the property was sufficient to qualify tvro persons, but not three, the tatter number claiming in respect of it. Mr. Turner, in reference to this transaction, said that Mr. Coppock denied having ever sworn any thing of the kind, and wished to be afforded an opportunity of supporting his claim. Mr. SIIAMTELL consented that the case should be re-opened and gone into on a future day. The name of John Field appeared in the list of the parish of St. Leonard's, Share:litch ; and it appeared that he claimed to be placed on the registry in rigr.t of " two freehold houses in the occupation of Mr. Charles Chappell and Mr. John flarls." The claim was rejected. William Robertson was objected to by Mr. Turner, on th© ground of misdescription of place of abode. Mr. SITADWELL allowed the claim. The revision of the remaining lists was postponed till Friday, the sth of October, at the same place. To-morrow the Barristers will sit at the Gray's Inn Coffee-hotig:.. THE SWISS QUESTION. We Icarn from the Federal of Geneva, that the Deliberative Council of the Canton had assembled on the preceding day to dieuss the instructions to be given to the deputation to the Diet. The violent opinions of the first syndic, Rigaud, and the majority of the Executive Council, were strenuously op posed by the celebrated M. de Sismondi and M. Eynard, the latter of whom hinted at important disclosures of a nature to modify public opinion on the Swiss question. The Repre sentative Council ultimately decided that a committee of 11 members, including Messrs. Sismondi and Eynard, should be intrusted with 6c framing of the instructions. It is re marked that at Geneva, as well as at Borne and Lausanne, the Radicals are divided in opinion as to the answer to be a.d eressed to the demand of France, and that the most judicious of the party are disposed to give such a vote as may leave a door open for conciliation. The Executive Council of Berne, in its sitting of the 19th, discussed the draught of the instructions to be given to its deputation. Eight votes were in favour of the propositions of Messrs. Rigaud and Monnard ; one vote for the rejection of the French Government's demand, with the amendment proposed to the Diet by tha Deputy of Basle City ; three for the draught of the majority of the Com mittee ; and four for a pure and simple adhesion to the demand of the French Government. M. Tscharner, in his capacity of President, abstained from voting, hut his vote, had it been given, would have been a fifth added to that of the last-mentioned party. The Council of State of Friburg, in its sitting of the 17th, adopted the propositions of Messrs. Rigaud and Monnard by a majority of 9to 3. The majority of the Executive Council of Zurich, consisting of eight members, intended to propose to the Grand Council to instruct its deputation to vote for the draught of the majority of the Committee. In case Prince Louis Na poleon consented to make the declaration specified in this draught, the deputation was to vote against the demand cf the French Government ; but in the opposite case, in its favou-, on the ground of the Prince not being a Swiss citizen. In the event of the rejection of the French Government's demand, the deputation, which had received unlimited powers, was to require the Diet to take the necessary measures to be prepared for hostilities. The deputation had likewise been authorized to demand a deliberation with closed doors if necessary. Five votes had been given in favour of the propositions of Messrs. Monnard and Rigaud. d on Monday last. from L on d on to O x f or d , w h ere s h e arri ve The Shell steam-barge has effected another passage must have exp er i ence d at t hi s season , owing to The fact o f h er h av i ng surmounte d t h e difficultie t s he wh e i x c t h re s m he e lowness of the water, is the best proof of her competency to make regular voyages.—Reading Mercury. At the Beddoes-green Sunday Wake, held on the last Sabbath, no less than five pitched battles took place be tween the bl ac k guards assembled there. The persons partici pating in these disgraceful violations of decency and huma nity were thieves, poachers, and women of the worst charac ter, amongst whom spirits were publicly sold. In the course of the day a fight took place between two men named Green and Harper, about an infamous woman, who urged them to fight, telling Harper he was no man if he did not kill Green. They fought in the most furious manner, amidst the yells and shouts of 500 ruffians. At length Harper was thrown heavily, and appeared almost lifeless, when Green, retreating a step, or two, raised his leg, and kicked his fallen antagonist in the most savage manner in the stomach. The savages, notwith standing the man's condition, called on his backers to bring him again to the " scratch," but, on his being pulled up, they perceived that life was fast ebbing, upon which the miscreants threw the dying man on the ground, leaving him to his fate, and ran away. Some persons who had no concern with the fight came to the poor creature's assistance, and afforded every help in their power for the few hours of his life. The woman who caused the fight ran off with the victim's clothes, but was stopped. She was unfortunately allowed to go at large on delivering them up.— Worcester Journal. HUNTING TIIR GIRAFFE.--The most approved manner in the present day of hunting the giraffe in Namaqua land is on horseback. The natives watch the giraffes when they are reposing, and get as near to them as they can before they dash forward ; the gigantic beasts get up in their scrambling manner, and move off as fast as they can ; the horsemen pur sue them, and if their horses are good they are not very long in coming up with them, and they fire when the muzzle almost touches the shoulder of the giraffe. When the cameleopard is mortally wounded, the long neck begins gradually to droop, and then the inoffensive animal falls on the ground. rearing o ff up,._ will sir overwhelm a Some times, however, an old giraffe will stop sho r t i n hi s fl i ght, allow the horseman to passndcloseto and hi then inake him, and both horse rider, edition of Discovery into Africa.

LIST OF SCOTTIS C OMPANIES' H PRICES, AUG. 25, 1838. BANKS. LAW INTELLIGENCE INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Ssrr. 25. Mr. James Robertson Anderson, of Covent-garden Theatre, described as a " comedian," came up to take the benefit of the Act, and was unopposed by his creditors. The insolvent had rented, in conjunction with Mr. Belville Penley, the Chelten ham and Gloucester Theatres, and to the insufficiency of the receipts of these houses he ascribed his insolvency. His debts were only 5701.—The insolvent was discharged. Richard Smith, the younger, applied to be discharged. He was supported by Mr. CooKE. The insolvent, an articled clerk to an attorney, was in prison on a debt of 6021., of which 500/. he set forth in his schedule was a penalty in an action of debt under the statute of 2d Geo. 11., cap. 24, for bribery at the election of a Member of Parliament for the borough of Bridgewater, in May,11837 ; the remainder was for costs.— The insolvent, after some discussion, was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HO USE. A poor, wretched-looking native of Persia, named Lazar Ovanich, was brought to the police •room by two gentlemen, who met him in the street i■ the most wretched condition, having nothing to cover him but a piece of an old blanket. His countenance was one of remarkable melancholy, and his beard, which was as black as jet, flowed over his breast. The gentlemen, one of whom understood the Turkish lan guage, with which the unfortunate object was slightly ac quainted, stated that if it had not been for some benevolent persons at the Roman Catholic Chapel in Moorfields, he must have died of starvation, and that they learned from him that he came over to this country from Persia, where he had been a farmer, to look for his brother, Jussuff Ovanich, whom he understood to be merchandising somewhere in London, and from whom he expected assistance. The LORD MAYOR asked what means the poor man had taken to find out his brother ? The gentlemen believed he was in the habit of walking about the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, and looking amongst the foreigners. He, however, could get no account of any such person, and would, if not assisted, perish in the streets. There was no Minister from Persia in this country to whom to apply for an order to send the man home, so that his condition was the most de plorable. He knew not a human being in this vast city, and actually had the appearance, when seen by the two gentlemen, of one who had dropped from the sky, so totally desolate was he. The LORD MAYOR gave the unhappy stranger some silver, and expressed a hope that, for a person so destitute and help. less, the friends of distressed foreigners would send in a few contributions to defray the expense of sending him to his own country. HA7' TON-GARDEN. Yesterday Dennis Collins, a rough-looking Irishman, was brought up by Restieaux, No. 49 E division, charged with having committed a brutal assault upon Mary Connor, his daughter-in-law, and her child, eighteen months old. Inspector Jenkins stated that Connor attended at the sta tion-house and made the charge, but she refused to come for ward to prosecute. Mr. WITHAM inquired the nature of the assault. Restieaux said it was most brutal. He quarrelled with Connor, when he seized hold of the infant, and throwing it upon the ground he kicked it on the head, and injured it so seriously that it was taken to St. Giles's workhouse. It was a common practice when Irish people quarrelled in St. Giles's, to take children and dash them revengefully on the ground. Mr. WITHAM (to the prisoner)—What have you to say for such cowardly and brutal conduct? Collins—Sure I was drunk, and I didn't know what I did. I have supported Connor and her two childer ever since her husband was killed, and will support them still as long as I am able through hard work. Inspector Jenkins said he was a hard-working man, and his statement was true. Collins—Faith, then, I wouldn't harm the hair of their heads. Mr. \VITHAIS said it was lucky for him that there was no one to prosecute, or he might be severely punished ; but as he was so kind es to support his daughter-in-law, and her two orphan children, he would discharge him. Collins—Heaven bless your honour. I'll stick to them as long as I live, and never bate them any more. BO W. STREET. Thomas Mitchell,; labourer, was yesterday placed at the bar before Mr. Miristium, and Mr. TwvFono, charged with striking a young man, named Thomas Kelly, two severe blows upon the head with a poker, which fractured the bone and otherwise injured him. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. UNION-HALL. Yesterday James Sharlock, a deaf and dumb man, charged a young man named Roberts, also labouring under a similar imperfection in his speech and hearing, with stealing the sum of 1/. ss. from him in a public-house. A difficulty arose as to how the examination was to be en tered into, owing to the complainant and prisoner being both deaf and dumb. As soon as the prisoner was placed at the bar, both he and the complainant commenced a conversation by signs, with the aid of their bands, the fingers of which they moved with great rapidity ; and it was evident they perfectly understood each other by their looks and gestures. The policeman who took the accused into custody was called into the tap-room of a public-house where the parties were both sitting drinking together, and they both appeared to be inebriated, but more particularly the complainant. The latter person, by taking out his purse, and exhibiting it quite empty, made the people present ".:understand by signs that he had been robbed of IL ss. which had been taken from the purse; and he accused his companion, the other deaf and dumb man, with taking the money. The accused, however, by his gesticulations, treated the matter with the ut most sang froid, and was quite willing to bst searched on the spot, which was accordingly done, but no money found ; still the compl‘inant insisted on the charge being taken, and the accused was conveyed to the station-house. As it was quite impossible to make out what was passing between the accused and the accuser, the magistrates sent for one of the teachers belonging to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum in the Kent-road. Upon this person's arrival he stated that both the complainant and the prisoner had been brought up at the above asylum, and, agreeably to the Magistrate's re quest, he acted as the interpreter on the occasion, by means of the system taught the afflicted inmates of that excellent insti tution. In the sequel, however, it turned out that both the young men had drank to such an excess that neither knew what he was about, and that while in that condition the corn plainant had lost money to the above amount, but how or in what manner there was no evidence whatever to ascertain. The accused consequently was discharged. John M. Cleland, a boy of fourteen years of age, was charged with throwing stones at the locomotive carriages on the Greenwich Ilailroarl. From the statement of a policeman it appeared that as the rail way carriages were proceeding along on the previous afternoon the defendant began pelting stones at them, one of which struck a pane of glass in one of the windows and broke it. At the time of the occurrence the defendant was standing in Church -street, adjacent to which the railroad passe, and from which he had an opportunity of amusing himself in the man ner described. When taken into custody he had two other tolerably large-sized stones in his hands, which were no doubt intended to follow the one which he bad previously flung at the carriages. In the course of the inquiry the dangerous consequences of such conduct as that pursued by the mis chievous defendant was described, especially upon a railroad ; and it was stated that several youngsters were in the habit of throwing stones at the carriages, which to hit was consi dered by them as a wonderful feat, when they were passing at their full speed. The Magistrate, having given the defendant a severe lec ture on the mischievous effects which might have risen from his conduct, fined him for the offence, and in default of pay ment committed him for fourteen days. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Catherine Clark, a repulsive-looking old Irishwoman, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. CONANT, charged with having beaten Ellen Clark, her daughter. The daughter stated that her mother's bad conduct towards her had compelled her to a life of infamy in the public streets. Hcr mother continually waylaid her and insisted upon being supported out of the wages of her shame, declaring that while she had a daughter who could get money—no matter in how disgraceful a manner—she would not do any work. For some tim• sits had allowed the infamous old woman eight shillings a-week, but this sum was not considered sufficient, and the rapacious mother continually besieged her for more money. Last Saturday night, while in the Quadrant, the old woman came up to her and demanded a sum of money. She was refused by complainant, who had not so much with her, and a smaller sum was tendered. The old woman rushed upon her and tore her bonnet to pieces, and was proceeding with her violence when the police interfered. At the time of the occurrence the old woman was intoxicated. Mr. CHAMBERS inflicted the fine of ss. with costs, or 21 days' imprisonment. MAR YLEB ONE. On Friday last William Mitchell, an officer, who for the last six years has been attached to this establishment, was placed at the bar before Mr. SHUTT, charged with having feloniously abstracted money from the pocket of Mr. Timothy Webb, a leather-seller, of Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, whilst proceeding homewards with him in a cab. It appeared that Mr. Webb's premises having been robbed, Mitchell, by the Magistrate's orders, accompanied the prose cutor, on Thursday, into the City and other parts, with the View, if possible, of tracing the stolen property, and likewise the thief. In their route they visited several public-houses in the Borough, at one of which they dined, and then proceeded to. Whitechapel, to make further inquiries. They were unsuc cessful in their object, and were preparing to return home, when the prosecutor was overcome partly by the liquor he had taken, and partly by the heat of the room, so as to render it im possible for him to proceed on foot ; and Mitchell having fetched a cab, they both got into it, and drove off towards the west end. On nearing a turnpike-gate, the officer, not having any money of his own, endeavouring to &rouse the prosecutor, who had sunk into a kind of lethargy ; but on finding his ef forts unavailing, he put his hand into the prosecutor's pocket, and took out, as he says, three halfpence, one penny of which he paid to the toll-collector. The prosecutor, on feeling the officer's hand in his pocket, suddenly aroused himself, exclaim ing to Mitchell, " You villain, you have robbed me ; I felt your hand in my pocket." Mitchell admitted that he had taken the money for the purpose stated, and tendered the pro secutor the halfpenny he had left, but the latter refused to ac cept it, and it was thrown into the road. They then pro ceeded on their way, the prosecutor declaring that he would give Mitchell in charge for. the felony, as soon as he reached home, and he kept his word. A policeman being called, Mitchell was conveyed to the Albany-street station-house, about nine o'clock at night, and locked up on the charge. Mr. SHUTT, after a long investigation, was of opinion that there was no felonious intention on the part of the officer, and therefore acquitted him on that charge. He, however, con sidered the officer's conduct censurable and unguarded in a great degree, inasmuch as it appeared that he had been drink ing with, and had used that familiarity with the prosecutor, which he, as an officer, ought never to have used ; and under these circumstances he should suspend him until he had con sulted with his brother Magistrates upon the subject. Yesterday the case came under the revision of Mr. Shutt and Mr. Hoskins, in consequence of the prosecutor having addressed a letter to the Secretary of State, complaining in no very measured terms of the Magistrate's decision, and ac cusing him of screening Mitchell from justice. Mr. SHUTT (to the prosecutor)—l consider, Sir, that you have acted vary indecorously in forwarding such a complaint to higher authority. Amongst other false statements you have accused me of having heard the case with closed doors. Prosecutor—That is a fact. Mr. SHUTT—I deny it, Sir, and will appeal to any person that heard the case. Prosecutor—What I have stated is true. A friend of mine who wished to hear the proceedings had the door closed in his face. Mr. Suurr—lt is sometimes necessary when the office is full, and when a case is on, to exclude persons who merely at tens from curiosity, and have nothing to do with the matter under investigation ; but Reporters and all other persons having business at the office were freely admitted, as they are upon every occasion, and, if I recollect right, the office was filled almost to inconvenience. [This statement is perfectly correct, no obstruction was offered to any person who had business at the office, and two of the reporters were actually let in while the case was under investigation.] Prosecutor—l saw several reporters taking notes, but not a line has appeared in any paper. I should like to know how that has happened ? Mr. Hoslutis—How do you think we are to inform you ? We do not sit here to superintend the press. Mr. SHUTT—Certainly not. Even when Pm attacked I make it a rulo never to interfere. Prosecutor—l'm determined to have justice. I distinctly charge Mitchell with having picked my pocket, and the case has been sraothered up. Mr. SHUTT-But you were so overcome at the time that you cannot tell the amount. Prosecutor—That's no matter, whether it was a hundred pounds or a halfpenny it's all the same. I will have justice which I have not yet had. Mr. SHUTT—If you use such language as that you bad bet ter leave the office, and then you can assert again that you have been turned out. Mitchell here stated that he had several witnesses in his fa- your, if the Magistrate would hear them. lie then called three or four individuals who were with him at different periods of the day, and they all bore witness to the officer's good conduct in not taking too much drink himself, and restraining the prosecutor as much as possible. One of them deposed to the prosecutor's illness when he left White chapel with the officer in a cab. Before starting he saw him change a half-sovereign, and pay for some drink out of it. Mitchell here observed that he could account pretty cor rectly for the prosecutor's money. When he left home with him he had only about 203. The last half-sovereign he changed at Whitechapel as stated by the witness; 3s. 6d. he paid for the cab, and when he got back he had about ss. left —making up the 10s. a 3 nearly as possible. Mr. SIIUTT said that he still saw no grounds for committing the officer to take his trial on the serious charge of felony ; and the prosecutor left the office, determined, as he said, not to let the matter drop, but to prosecute the officer in a higher Court. Mitchell still remains suspended, but it is understood only for a short period. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. Richard Clark, a middle-aged man, very respectably attired, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with stealing 501., the property of his brother, George Clark, a toll contractor, residing at Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Mr. WHITE recommended an adjustment, if possible ; but declared that lig could not order a restoration of the money. Tile affair was ultimately arranged, and the prisoner dis charged. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Chamberlain, who on Tuesday last was brought up and placed at the bar, charged with an assault upon a young girl, Elizabeth Collard, niece to Mr. East, silk-weaver, Tur ner-square, and who subsequently destroyed herself, was brought up for re-examination before Messrs. Conn and GROVE. The appearance of the prisoner showed that he was labouring under a very great depression of mind. It will be recollected that the prisoner is an apprentice to Mr. East, and that an inquiry had been held upon the body of the female, when a verdict of " Found drowned" was returned. Mr. CODD inquired of Mr. East if he wished to proceed any further against his apprentice ? Mr. East—Most assuredly I do. Mr. CODD—Have you any further evidence ? Mr. East bad further witnesses, who would show that on the morning after the assault of the prisoner upon bis unfortunate niece the prisoner made use of expressions of revolting levity re specting his conduct. Another of his witnesses would prove that his niece, before she destroyed herself, stated that the prisoner had made her life miserable ; and she stated that when she complained to him of his faithless conduct and of her un happinesi, he told her that the best way for her to do was to destroy herself. John Ifighstead said that on the morning of Saturday week he was in the shop with tvo other apprentices. The prisoner was also there, when, on one of the other apprentices making some allusion to the conduct of the prisoner on the preceding night the prisoner made use of some exulting expressions, and said that he only wanted to treat her as he had a dozen girls before. Jane Davies, the other apprentice, was called, but it ap pearing that the prisoner was not present when she had the conversation with the deceased, her evidence was not taken. Mr. CODD said that his mind was made up as to the course he intended to pursue. It was his intention to send t he pri soner for trial, but as it was then too late to take the deposi tions he should remand the prisoner till Thursday. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of last Evening.) SUGAR.—From the grocers there has been a good demand for British Plantation, and the brown and mid yellow descrip tions, which have of late been neglected, are now the most in request, and have generally brought an advance on previous rates of Is ; good and fine sorts have maintained their previous currency ; for refining a fair business has been done at a simi lar improvement in prices to that noticed above; by private treaty sales of fair brown Berbice and Trinidad have been made at 50s to 51s, Montserrat rather better at 51s, low mid to good mid yellow from various other colonies at 52a to 555, fine Jamaica at 603, and 100 hhds chrystallized De merara at an average of 69s 4d ; at auction 139 hhds Barba does, and 52 hhds, 11 trig, 51 brls Tobago have been offered, the former sold steadily at previous rates, fine at 63s 6d to 645, good 61s to 62s 6d, good mid 59s 6d to 603 6d, mid 57s 6d to 595, ord 55s 6d to 56s 6d ; the latter went with spirit at full prices, and some lots went rather dearer; the prices ob tained wore from 50s 6d to 56s 6d; the sales during the past week, including the auctions, amount to 2,900 hhds and trs ; some of the importers are not inclined to sell for the present, and have withdrawn their samples from the market, being alarmed at the reluctance which has been evinced in some of the colonies by the newly emancipated negroes to re. sume their field labours, but we think that in a short time things will return to their regular channel. The difference in the comparative stocks has greatly decreased. This after noon there was a good business doing, both Grocers and Re finers being buyers ; the prices established on Friday were fully supported, and in some instances a slight advance was obtained.

Refined Sugar has been in good demand for home con sumption, particularly the better descriptions, which have brought rather higher prices; 75s paid for Lumps passing the standard, and 803 and upwards for fine goods; common sorts have maintained their previous currency ; for Lumps rather under the standard 73s has been paid, and 68s to 70s for brown ones.
